APPENDIX Gr.
Birds eye view of proposed alignment for motor road. Ispahan to Arabistan
via Lurdegan.
This route may conveniently be divided into four sections
(1) Ispahan to Hauz-i-Mahi, 43J miles, Plateau Section.
(2) Hauz-i-Mahi to Lurdegan, 78 miles, high upland section.
(3) Lurdegan to Malamir, 84J miles, Mountain Section.
(4) Malamir to Darreh Khazineh, 107 miles, broken foot hills Section.
Plateau Section .—Elat plains with a hard gravel surface and hills up to
1,500 feet in height running north and south rising abruptly from the plain, the
continuity of which is, however, never severed as the hill ranges either tail
away into the plain or have wide rifts. Prosperous villages and gardens at
wide intervals wherever water can be found by underground kanats.
